Delisting

All of the Cabela’s titles published by Activision were delisted on Steam on October 20th, 2017. The titles were likely delisted in the latter half of October on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One after being featured in various sales on each platform (PlayStation, Xbox). Two early PlayStation Portable releases may have been delisted earlier but at the latest they would also have been removed in October 2017. The mass delisting was likely due to Planet Entertainment’s acquisition of the Cabela’s license leading up to the 2018 release of Cabela’s The Hunt: Championship Edition. See the table below for more specifics on each title.

NOTE: The table is organized by title, by original release date. The Digital Release column is not in chronological order as titles were made available to download at irregular intervals.


More on Activision and Cabela’s History

Since 1997 Cabela’s exclusively licensed its brand to Activision’s ‘Value Publishing’ division for use in the video game space. This includes several early entries that were never released digitally. In June of 2003 the pair announced an extension of this lucrative deal for a further decade, ending in 2014. Whether due to a decline in sales or the financial struggles of the outdoor outfitter brand, Activision did not seek to extend their license for a similar block of time. The publisher also ceased marketing operations on social media, retiring the ‘Activision Hunts’ Twitter and Facebook accounts in 2014 and the activisionhunts.com website in 2015.

A brief licensing extension may have been struck as Activision released a port of Cabela’s African Adventures — initially released in 2013 — on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2015. It appears that the license was then dormant until 2018 when Planet Entertainment announced and released Cabela’s The Hunt: Championship Edition exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
